Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Peering into the tomes of history in an attempt to better comprehend the American mind during this critical period of our history, the author has encountered many conflicting and ambiguous statements. But by comparing these opinions and by a detailed study of original sources the author has endeavored to reach logical grounds for his reasoning. The opinions here offered agree with those of others used, but only because the author through diligent study has arrived at like conclusions. That his own historical integrity has not been jeopardized by his faith in others is the author's sincere hope.

Newspaper Matrix Backing Techniques., Robert Roscoe Childs

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The problem of developing suitable materials and techniques for the elimination of hand backing of mats was undertaken. A thermosetting resin of the resorcinol type, ad-mixed with 15 to 25 per cent short-fiber asbestos, was applied to the mats both as a paste and in the form of a partially cured resin sheet. Its use was discontinued since its inherent insulating properties and warpage were found to be undesirable.

After experimenting with several other backing materials and methods, the following procedure was concluded to be feasible:

(1) Spraying sodium silicate solution upon a sheet of blotting paper.

(2) Pressing the …

A Study Of Diffusion In Distillation., Joseph G. Duffey

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A study of the mass transfer phenomena in fractional distillation was made. Small scale single slot, single cap apparatus was used to obtain the necessary experimental data.

The mass transfer coefficient KgA was calculated using several combinations of liquid and vapor compositions in the menthanol - water system under static liquid conditions. The correlation showed that KgA held about constant over the entire range of concentrations.

The problem of bubble area was studied and reasonable estimations of area, bubble frequency, and time of rise were made. This information is to be incorporated into the calculation of the mass transfer coefficient …

A Study Of The Effect Of Pigmentation On The Film Properties Of Ethocel : Part Ii. A Study Of The Effect Of Sun Light On The Color Of Pigments., Mansur Ahmad

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this investigation was to determine quantitatively the effect of pigmentation on the film properties of ethocel lacquer. This study was confined to the determination of tensile strength, percentage elongation at failure, softening and melting points of the films. Pigments were ground in the ethocel lacquer containing three parts ethocel, one part 276V-9 Dow resin and sixteen parts solvent by weight. Softening and melting points of the films were determined and were found to increase uniformly with increasing amounts of the pigments. The tensile strength of ethocel film with titanium dioxide as a pigment increased from 317 Kgm/Cm2 …

Relative Volatility Of Esters In Ethyl Alcohol-Water-Ester System., Yi-Chung Chang

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The relative volatillities of five branch-chained esters with respect to ethyl alcohol in mixtures of ethyl alcohol and water containing small amounts of esters were determined experimentally. The results could be used in the design of distillation columns for ethyl alcohol purification.

For alcohol concentrations of more than 50 mol per cent, the increase of relative volatility of the esters was inversely proportional to the alcohol concentration. For dilute concentrations of less than 30 mol per cent the increase in volatility was very rapid, and the rates of increase were different for different esters. No simple quantitative correlation was established …

I. Improved Ice Meltage In Ice Boxes; Ii. Temperature Control In Tents - Winter Phase., Robert Beaman Duggan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis consists of two parts: Improved Ice Meltage in Ice Boxes; Temperature Control in Tents - Winter Phase. Improved ice meltage in the Progress refrigerator is discussed in the first part of the thesis. This portion of the work shows that satisfactory refrigerator temperatures and flat ice meltage could not be obtained simultaneously when using V-shaped ice racks, although they could be obtained separately; however, the basket-type chamber offers greater possibilities of obtaining proper temperatures and meltage characteristics. Series of tests are discussed and conclusions drawn from the results. In the second part of the thesis, a method of …

Separation Of The Selenium Compounds In Seleniferous Plant Protein Hydrolysates By Paper Partition Chromatography, Arnold L. Smith

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In 1943 Franke reported that the protein of "allolied" or "toxic" wheat carried the toxicant, and Franke and Painter in 1935 reported that those "toxic" proteins contained selenium which was in organic combination in the protein. There has been much speculation regarding the possibility of selenium replacing sulfur in the amino acids cysteine and methionine. The toxicity of selenium in selenium analogs of these compounds is similar to that of selenium occurring naturally in proteins seleniferous cereals, which indicated that the selenium may be present in the proteins as the analogue of these sulfur amino acids.

Systems Of Producing Fat Yearlings For South Dakota, William Clark Mccone

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

About twelve billion pounds of dressed beef and veal were produced in the United States in 1947 through the conversion of grassland crops into meat by cattle and these cattle lead all classes of American livestock in the consumption of grass and grassland crops. Grass usually represents the principal and cheapest feed for beef cattle. They utilize about one third of the permanent pastures and three fourths of the range areas. Pastures may be regarded as a costly source of feed only on highly productive farm lands, but their use in rotation with cultivated crops on such land is certain …

Devitalization Of Weed And Cereal Seeds By A Radio Frequency Generator, Dwight Lambert

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Weed control work has gone forward throughout the nation during this post war period. The work has not only been in the herbicidal field but also in the field of cleaning and processing of crop seed to be used for planting purposes. At the present time the soil of our country contains considerable weed seed without more being added through unclean crop seed. Norris (2) has shown that there were as many as 90 weed seeds in 37.8 square inches of soil to a depth of 6 inches that germinated during a single year. When calculated on an acre basis …

The Apparent Digestibility By Sheep Of Prairie Hay Harvested At Three Stages Of Maturity, Robert Manseau Jordan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Grass is the greatest asset of the Northern Great Plains. Grass does and must serve as the basic feed for the flocks and herds of this area. Without grass, much of the Northern Great Plains would be waste land with little or no value. In the states of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, about 67 per cent of the total land is in pasture and hay. Seventy five to 95 per cent of the total feed needed by cattle and sheep in the Northern Plains states is furnished by pasture and roughage. With an ever-increasing demand …

The Effect Of Wrapping Material On Freezing Rate, Quality And Cooking Losses Of Beef Frozen And Stored In Home Freezer Units, James Robert Dynes

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Meat is an essential food in the daily menu of growing and working Americans. Due to meat production methods and population distribution, this meat must often be preserved for a considerable length of time. If better and more accessible storage methods and facilities were readily available, more meat could be used to great advantage in the diets of all people. It is for these reasons that constant effort is being put forth to find better and more efficient means for its preservation. Freezing as a method of preservation for perishable food products has been used for many years. Artificial freezing …

Correction Factors For Adjusting Weights Of Range Calves To A Constant Age, Christian Alfred Dinkel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In experimental beef cattle breeding work and commercial beef production it is desirable to know comparative weights of claves at a given age, usually at weaning age of around 200 days. Some workers have gone to considerable trouble weighing all calves at 200 or 205 days regardless of work involved. A few have weaned calves at a constant weight such as 500 pounds and made their comparisons on gain per day to test weight. These methods are usually impractical in herds kept under corn-belt conditions and practically impossible in herds maintained on western or north-central ranges. Weaning at a constant …
